How To Use Snapchat: Common Questions Answered

Snapchat is a smartphone app available for the iPhone and Android devices. It allows the user to share photos (with text or drawings) with their friends. The photos last for 1-10 seconds when viewed and are then automatically deleted.

It’s a fun app to send silly images to your friends, or images you don’t want finding their way on Facebook. Some use it to send risque photos of themselves, however I would advise against it as there are ways to save the photo before it’s deleted (see below). Use it and have fun!

Remember those days when you would write a little note on a piece of paper, then pass it to the girl/guy you liked? Then you’d tear it up at the end of class so no one would read what you talked about? Snapchat is a new version of that. You can send photos, even text back and forth, and when you’re done. The convo is gone! It makes flirting all the more better

How do you delete someone on “Snapchatters who added me” list?

I’ve gotten a few questions and comments below asking this same question. You can go to your friends list and if you see that someone has added you but you have no idea who the person is, you can delete them. Simply swipe to the left and they will be removed from the list.

How do you delete a best friend in Snapchat

You can’t necessarily delete a “best friend” on Snapchat if they’re already on your top list. However, a quick trick is that you can Snap with someone else a ton just to replace them on your list. Also, you can try to delete the best friend from your list and then add them again. This won’t always remove them but it’s worth a shot if you desperately need to get rid of that one person.

Alternatively you can invite friends in your contact list that aren’t currently registered with the app. Alternatively, you can go to “My Friends” on the menu, then scroll up and a pop up will appear to directly add someone if you know their username or add individuals from your contact list. You either need their phone number or their Snapchat username to add them to your friends list, so make sure you know one or the other to be able to Snap with them.
